FDF Console monitor

Expose a First Degree Fitness water rower as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) peripheral providing Fitness Machine Service (FTMS) rower data.

Tested with First Degree Fitness NEON plus water rower which comes with the (basic) FDF Console and a serial interface.

Usage

Run:

go run ./cmd/fdf-console-monitor --name "FDF Rower" --port /dev/ttyUSB0

Advanced usage: building on Linux for running in non-root context

Build binary on Linux - e.g. for running on Raspberry Pi:

CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -a -o fdf-console-monitor ./cmd/fdf-console-monitor

Grant only specific capabilities instead of full root access:

sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' ./fdf-console-monitor

Run as non-root:

./fdf-console-monitor --name "FDF Rower" --port /dev/ttyUSB0
